Industry Blamed
For Only Half
Of Air Pollution
MNew York U. Sr industry-
which yearly spends from five
to ten per cent of its capital
investment on air pollution
continues to get the blame for
pollution problems, but sur
veys show it is responsible for
only about half the trouble,
reports Engineering and Min
ing Journal. :
In many metropolitan areas,
the automobile has become the
most important single contrib
utor to air pollution. In 1940,
there were about 32 million
cars on the road; in 1957, there
were 67 million; by 1975,
there will be more-than 100
million.
Combustion Engine Blamtd
Automobile exhaust pollut
ants stand head and shoulders
above, any other type today.
A survey found that two
thirds of all the pollution in
the atmosphere above Los An
geles county is directly at
tributed to the internal com
bustion engine.
Air pollution today costs so
ciety $7.5 billion a year in the
U.S. in terms of corrosion
alone. Ten years ago, the av
erage annual cost of air pol
lustion was about ten dollars
for each individual; today, the
figure is $65. ,
More Must Be Spent
Although industry alone
spends $300 to '$500 million
annually, the U.S. says that
more money must be spent on
controls and abatement. Every'
dollar spent today on control
will cut many dollars from
losses - suffered tomorrow
through depreciation, corro
sion, damage suits against in
dustry, lost man hours, illness
and death.
Current interest in air pol
lutants is due to the realiza
tion after years of research
that the air is, or may be,
responsible for many of man's
ills, including cancer, heart
ailments, gastrointestinal ail
ments and lung disease. '
Insects have no lungs. They
breathe through tubes run
ning all through their bodies.
